The first Anne Rice novel, INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE , is a good read and quite well-written, certainly far better than anything else she did. A bit baroque in places (for my minimalist tastes) but a page-turner. After that, she descended into hackery and I couldn't be bothered. And now, of ...

Well, Lord of the Dead is only half-bad, I guess. It started off good--kind of like Interview With the Vampire with the narration to a captive audience member--but it grew tiresome--travel Europe, kill vampire "father", travel Europe some more, repeat. I guess it's part of a series, but I'm no ...

Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets (reread)
I've read pretty much all of them. Interview with a Vampire was by far the best. The rest, meh...
ETA: I did enjoy Tale of the Body Thief, though.
#129: I struggled to finish Interview with the vampire too!!! It's just that I consider Anne Rice as a great author but her books move a little too slow for my taste. Let me know what you think of it when you finish it.
P.S. GO ELLEVEE!!! U can do it.
An Anthropologist On Mars
Interview With The Vampire - Again... to see if I can finish it
Harry Potter And the Chamber Of Secrets - Again... just because
Interview With The Vampire - to see if I still dislike it, and because I don't remember most of it.
An Anthropologist On Mars - because Oliver Sacks rocks.
Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets - a reread, for no good reason
Flossie, Thanks for the honesty. I had to stifle the giggles!!! In any case, a different view. I wish I had stopped with Interview with a Vampire because I didn't enjoy the next installments. I just felt like she was sort of rehashing the same groudn without really going any deeper.

I read and reread Interview with the Vampire and I didn't think it was overly long or pretentious or boring. In fact, I think it is her best in that series. I thought The Witching Hour was her best of the Mayfair Witches series. And I also enjoyed her first novel about the life of Christ.

Interview With the Vampire is my favorite and I can tolerate portions of Queen of the Damned. Following that, I would say Servant of the Bones or The Mummy.
Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles and Bram Stoker's Dracula spring to mind, probably because they're books I've read.
BTW, my favorite Rice horror novels are Interview with the Vampire , The Witching Hour, and The Mummy.

I think Interview with the Vampire is really good, it was written well before the others.

I have 63 pages left of Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice
I will then be reading The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Well, I'd argue that most horror overlaps heavily with sci-fi or fantasy. Furthermore, Interview with the Vampire is pretty light on the horror (unlike, say, Dracula) because Rice romanticizes and sexualizes the vampires so much. So I would include horror, so long as it has strong sci-fi or ...

Chocolat by Joanne Harris
Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice
About A Boy by Nick Hornby
High Fidelity by Nick Hornby
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
Winterdance : the Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod by Gary Paulsen
Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice
This is a mix of children's and adult fiction, and some non-fiction as well. I would have a completely different list if I ...
... Anne Rice.
I love Bram Stoker's Dracula and enjoy some of his other books. I also loved Barnabas Collins. :-)
Interview with the Vampire was interesting; after that I lost interest.
Thinking some more, didn't Fred Saberhagen portray a sympathetic Count Dracula in The Dracul ...
...And by that, I mostly mean pre- or post- Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire , as (while her later works may have degenerated into self-congratulatory porn) IwtV was a Very Important Book in vampire fiction, and single-handedly introduced the idea of the vampire as a sympathetic human ...
... and Fledgling by Octavia Butler. The first books in Anne Rice's vampire series are pretty good, too. From Interview With the Vampire to about Tale of the Body Thief are well worth reading. Two titles that are on my reading list, but I haven't gotten to yet, are Bloodsucking ...
I'm currently reading Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. So far I have read: Interview with the Vampire , The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned, The Tale of The Body Thief and Blood and Gold. I intend to purchase Memnoch the Devil when I get my next paycheque.
My favourate so far ...
All the King's Men, definitely. Feast of All Saints, another excellent choice. Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat, if you have a "taste" for the vampire lore. If you want more modern fiction, and more of rural Louisiana than New Orleans, try James Lee Burke's detective ...
... never have gone back to on my own.
The Rice family has produced one book I loved among the welter of Riceiana available: Interview with the Vampire . Stan's poetry does zip for me. Anne's post-Interview books fail to appeal much, though I thought Cry to Heaven was good enough to ...
... Vampire series. It's very chilling, and I couldn't seem to put them down when I first read them.
And who could forget Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice? It's an amazing Vampire story by a brilliant author. The other ones are quite good, too, but this one was by far my favourite. Lestat ...
... of disbelief, but overall I thought it was a decent book. I mainly read it because a friend recommended it to me as Interview With the Vampire for intellectuals, though I wouldn't draw that parallel myself.
The series lost me when we got to The Vampire Elmo...
Also, Interview with a Vampire is an excellent New Orleans book. I love/hate Anne Rice, but I have to admit that she really nailed the feel/smell/way of New Orleans in that one. For other Louisiana stuff, Charlaine Harris's Dead series is really pretty good and rather funny. Granted, both of ...
... thought the same thing about Anne Rice! But I didn't think I'd even read enough to be justified in saying it. I thought Interview with the Vampire was very well done, and I really enjoyed The Vampire Lestat even though the characters had suddenly changed drastically, but I couldn't stand Q ...
... ... and where's The Stand? I know some people might not consider it exactly scifi, but it's certainly a lot closer than Interview with a vampire .
... I'd have to go with Misery, Hellraiser (Barker's The Hellbound Heart), Psycho (the incomparable Robert Bloch), Interview with the Vampire and The Silence of the Lambs. Each and every one of those movies captured the books and stories they sought to represent, and did it well.

... me out of the water. Some are books I expected to hate but ended up loving, while others are just damne good reads:
Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice
White Oleander by Janet Fitch
Fall On Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald
Hollywood Wives by Jackie Collins (y ...
... Frankenstein manages to pull a 4th place spot. Anne Rice is the only other author to sneak in the top ten with Interview coming in at 5th place and the sequel Lestat grabbing number 11. Then King dominates the list again all the way through the 26th book. I’d like to think ...
... the cast of hunters, etc. It is the one I have multiple versions of, including a hardback annotated.
Hard to split from Interview with the Vampire - I can remember reading that one as an 8 year old, having scored it as a cheap 50c paperback from Woolworths, and very late at night, it was so ...
